Introduction and a couple behavioral questions.

1. Why do you want to leave your current role
2. What is missing in your current role

Coding question

Check if a string is "Cool". If not, is it possible to remove 1 character to make it cool

"Cool" is defined as the number of characters in the string is the same

Example:

aaa -> True
aabb -> True (2 a\'s and 2 b\'s)
aabbbcccc -> False because there are 2 a\'s, 3b\'s, and 4 c\'s

aabbc -> Should also return True because we can remove 1 character (c) to make it "Cool"
aab -> Same reason as above should be True
aabbb -> True for same reason.

Result

I got

rejected. I solved the coding question optimally with 10 mins to spare and we they even started throwing design question they didn\'t prepare for to fill up the time. But for some reason I still got

rejected. It\'s possible they didn\'t like my answer to why I want to leave my current role and seeking a role in Bloomberg (my short answer to this, is Bloomberg is better on my resume lol).

Disappointed there are no feedback at all considering I felt that I did well in the coding challenge. Oh well, that\'s just the nature of the game.
